Excerpt from Tenth Annual Report of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, 1904 This Department is always ready to give to farmers every assist ance possible to aid them in securing, at fair cost, fertilizers suited to the crops they wish to grow. The'only certain way, however, open to the individual farmer to determine what quality of fertilizers are the best suited to his soil and the particular crops he may wish to grow, is experimentation. It is not infrequently the case that differ ent parts of the same farm require the application of different ele ments of plant food for the production of the same crop. The semi annual Fertilizer Bulletin issued by this Department is a very great help to farmers in making their selections of fertilizers, as they afford an Opportunity for comparing the prices at which the various grades of goods are sold, and at the same time show which of the many brands upon the market come up to the manufacturer's guarantee in the amount of plant food they contain.
